FAQ

Do we allow lyrics?
Nope, no lyrics on that stage.

Do we allow non-karaoke versions of songs?
Yes! Non-karaoke versions are okay but people will judge accordingly.

Can we make a karaoke version for you?
No! The audio filters used to do that will make the track sound terrible.
(we can lower the music a lot and turn up your audio)

Why the online waiting list?
To cover anyone who drops out before the convention

Random order this year?
Yes, sign up order makes no difference.

Again no pre-screening?!
Yup.. Worked fine last time.

Can I sing anything?
The restrictions are JPOP,KPOP,Anime and Game Music (Within Reason)
Has to be pg-13 or less content wise as well.

No, because the song existed previous to the anime and was included as part of the soundtrack.
For example, the endings of Jo Jo's Bizare Adventure (several series) used previously existing western songs and
those would break normal karaoke guidelines.

You know, I'm surprised I haven't ever asked this over the years, but what's the rule on English covers?

Perfectly okay, however, the audience and judges will be carefully comparing each contestant on the level of skill etc.
In a completely even match it being in English vs not could be a deciding factor.

I am unsure if my post was posted and I need to ask something more:
So, I come from DK and I really - and I mean really want to sign up. I would like to know the time on the friday it will be possible to sign up for the competition. I have already decided for song and all. I hope for the best ^^
